Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Canallave is an open-sea beach separated from Valdearenas by the rocky promontory of las Peñuescas. The dry stretch measures around 250 metres, although the listing states that it can exceed 900 metres at low tide; the structured field records 250 metres in length and 50 metres in width. Golden sand extends before a protected cliff, with strong swell, wind and currents that make bathing dangerous. Occupancy is medium and the beach is very popular with surfers. It is reached by car via the CA-305, with more than 100 parking spaces.
